panies as desired to be heard. all OF which
were fully and carefully considered as was Dire
to the importance Of the questions and the
magnitude Of the interests involved; and
on August b. 1885, my views were fully
expressed in q decision rendered in the
case Of the Atlantic g. Pacific Railroad Com
pany, which, by answer and argument raised
nearly all the objections that were presented
IN part only by q number OF other companies.
/ send herewith copy of the whole text Of that
opinion, in which these objections were
answered serIatim. Two days later the orders
Withdrawing the lands within the indemnity
limits and rese wing the same from settlement
were revoked and the lands restored to the
public domain aud to settlement, first IN the
cases of the two companies which had not
answered, second in those which answering,
assented the third in the cases Of the CON-
panies which set up defenses coming within the
rulings in the foregoing opinion.
In the Congressional grants TO the following
railroad companies, the Hastings Dakota, the
ST. Paul & Northern Pacific, the ST. Paul, Min
neapois & Manitoba. the ST. Paul & Sioux City,
the Sioux City s. ST. Pau, and the WInona & St.
Peter, it is provided that upon filing the maps
designating the routes OF said roads and
branches it shall be the duty OF the Secretary
of the Interior to withdraw from market the
lands embraced within the provisions OF the acs
making the grant.
In consequence OF this provision these roads
were omitted from the orders Of restoration. 1t
will be seen from the order passed in the At
lantic & Pacific case, and which was applied to
the other companies, mutatiS mutandis, that
whilst it was determined that the
lands in question should not longer be
withheld from appropriation under the settle
ment laws ever precaution possible was taken
to protect the legal rights OF the corporations.
Following this action, instructions were subse-
Quently issued to the Commissioner Of the Gen
eral Land Office to detail all the available force
in his office to the worS, of adjusting the road
grants and proceeding rapidly as possible
with the same. The amount of land resto ed to
the public domain, through orders reyolling the
indemnity Withdrawals, is stated by The Com
missioner of the General Land Office to be IL
323 600 acres.
/ beg to refer to what has been said. in an
other part OF this report, in relation TO the i'm
perative necessity Of appropriations for the sur
ycys, without which d complete adjustment OF
these railroad grants is not practicable at an
early day.

OPERA HOUSE PANIC.
A Colored Congregation Stampcdes With
Fatal Results.


DURHAM, n. c., Nov. 31-A negro man
rushed into Stokes Opera House. in this
city, last night, where large crowd Of COL
ored men and women had gathered to hear
Mrs. =. A. Hughes the only ordained col
ored female preache- in the South. He
shouted Fire. Fire! Fire!' The scene
that followed was almost mdescrbable.
Women and children screamed, and all
made Il mad rush for the doors. The
stronger fought with the weaker. and
pushed them down, and tbs groanS Of
women, rs they We're being tranpied, were
heartrending. "My God! My God! l am
dying! Let me up"' cried one poor unfor-
tunate No one needed her. Down they
came, some riding on the shoulders Of
others, and blocking the sidewalk. Fortu
nately the hah was soon cleared, but for
fifteen minutes the frenZed, fighting,
screaming mass Of humanity remained on
the steps and it was impossible to move
them.
Three negro men stood for moment in
the front windows of the second story and
then sprang out, and striking the stone
pavement they reboundcd into the gutter.
Strange to say, they were not seriously
hurt. A boy leapcd from window at the
rear Of the building. He is hurt internally.
A woman had all her clothes torn off and
went running down the street. Another
woman was stood upon her head. and thus
carried from the top to the bottom Of The
steps. When the steps had been cleared
Louisa Chavis, Jennie Stephens and an
other girl were picked up aud carried into
a drug store The breath had been literal
ly trampled out of their bodies. Lousia
Chavis died to-day at noon The condition
Of the o. her two is critical.
There was no cause for the alarm and
panic. The fire had no connection with tho
hall, and in itself did no damage. The
space under the steps leading TO the front
entrance of the hall formed a closet in II
store. From some cause fire was commuui-
Gated to this closet, and when discovered
was burning briskly. The manager of the
opera house was made aware of the fire,
and in a few moments would have had it
cxtinguIshed without the knowledge of the
congregation, if the negro man had not
rushed into the hall and given the fatal
alarm.

THE LOvE-LETTER.
Gushing Compositions Whose Theme
Never Becomes Tfresome.

GuShtnG Compositions whose Tneme
Never Becomes Tfresome.
1t is not every body who can write a
love-lctter; perhaps because it is not
every one who knows how to love.
People fancy that they love when their
hearts are not touched in the least,
and their vanity is the only thing that
is kindled. When women are young.
their first lover is a revelation, and
they often marry him from sheer in
ability to understand their own emo
tons. The love-letters of such people
are apt to be flayorless; they lack the
true aroma. The genuine lover loves
to write letters to the adored one; he
does not limit himself to covering four
pages; he has so much to say that it
seems to him as if it would take life
time to say it all. He is dot obliged
to study how to turn a pretty compli-
ment or phrase; it turns of itself as if
by inspiration; like the genuine poet,
it is merely the expression of his in
most being, the vibration of his heart
strings. He does not write simply be-
cause his sweetheart expects it of him;
he writes because he must; but if he is
only 1ukewarm, and not certain but
there are others equally taking" who
could fill his heart quite as satisfac-
torily, his letters will show it if her
eyes are keen enough to see, and she
is not blinded by self-conceit. There
are many who can write more gush-
ingly than they can speak; not that
they have more time to consider
their words and weigh their
thoughts, and not that love-letter
need be gushing-gush is always more
or less questionable-but shy people
find difficulty in expressing them
selves at times, and the more in love
they are, the more likely they are ''to
write like an angel and talk like poor
Poll" The letter is like talking in the
dark; it says the eloquent things which
the lover would never dare to utter.
Spoken words one may in Il measure
forget, but the written letters are
always ours. a precious possession so
long as Il shred Of the paper holds to-
gether, something more tangible and
real. The love-letter is no doubt COM
mon enough; every body writes it and
every body receives it, but its theme is
never tiresome; it has always peren-
NAL interest, and the same old story
reads like a new one year in and year
out, generation after generation, like
an immortal idyl; but one must not
fall into the mistake of believing that
it is only youth to whom it is dear, that
youth alone inspires it. although the
first love-letter, like first love, has n
flavor more divine than any other;
what it lacks we are not quick to per-
ceive, photography is at discount, we
are not too critical, nor are we ex-
pcrienced enough to detect flaws; it IS
the best literary production of the age,
in our eyes.-Harper's Bazar.

A British Scandal.

LONDON. Dec. L-Mr. William Copeland
Borlase, formerly member of Parlia-
ment for the st. Austell division
OF Cornwall and Under Secretary of
the Loral Government Board, was
examined today in the bankrupt
court. His liabilities amount to 81, =
653 and his assets to ei31i. He traced a
part or his embarrassment to his relations
with his mistress, Nine. DcQuiros. whom
he allowed d fixed income OF COS week.
At first the payments were made willingly.
cut subsequently the money was extorted
from him, the woman following him
to France, Spain and finally to
Wales, where he was forced to obtain po-
lice protection against her and her male
companion. The last 800 he gave her was
paid in Trafa gar square. The case is eA-
citing much interest.

WHY IS I17
Why So Many Enthusiastically Sucl
Iniusticc?

Injustice?
A good conscience and Divine grace may
do much, but il the key to q mans body be
bad, the mans life will be a failure. II the
foundation of building is weak, the pru-
dent owner promptly repairs it.
Is there not some reason why prominent
men who inspire the utmost confidence, be-
come criminals, and seek foreign asylumsl
The protested Christian, the devoted
father, the most honored men, after filing
POSITIONS of trust for years, fall. We see
this daily, and have found no solution to the
mystery.
II the medical profession gave this matter
their attention, would it not be better than
wasting their time grinding over their 'isms,
or, worse still, declaiming against improve
ments that benefit mankind, but do not
happen to come from their highly-respected
schoolsl They are being taunted by the
scientists that they are but little further adj
vanced in their studies than they were years
ago, while q wonderful advancement OF
benefit to suffering humanity, has been
made by scientists outside the profession.
A few days ago, the medical profession
proclaimed to the world that bright's dis
ease was incurable. They are unable to
explain in the slightest degree its causes.
1t is only within two or three years that it
has become known that such disease is
only an advanced kidney trouble, which was
treated with Indifference at first, as of no
consequence. Within few Yeas the truth
has become established that most diseases
arise from arrangement of the kidp eys !;
that if these organs are in healthy co.ldi-
ton, these diseases would not exist, and when
corrected, the disease ceases.
For years this has been the keynote of
the great remedy known as W-rners safe
cure, and from the best obtainable infOrma-
ton, the fame of the remedy comes from
outside the medical code. Nevertheless, the
popularity of Warmers safe cure continues
to increase, regardless of its place of birth.
The liberal branches Of the medical profess
sion are fast recognizing its merits, and we
expect they will ere long be proclaimed in
medical halls and conventions. Perhaps its
proprietors and perfector may never see it,
but the time will surely come, as it has come
with other valuable discoveries. Perhaps a
hundred years from now, the discoverer OF
this valuable remedy may receive some
honorable title for the benefit he has con-
ferred upon mankind.
